In The Dark

Hello my Lady, I can see you're shaken and cold ---
Lying there lonely, like you're alone.
I know there's twilight scratching at your door ---
I see your problem; I see what you're fearful for,
But you're still young anyway.

Hello my Lady, I can see you're shattered and scared ---
Lying there lonely, oh, it's not fair.
I hear there's trouble 'tween you and the Lord ---
So melancholy just lying there, flawed,
But your time is not done anyway.

Welcome to the realm of sadness -- we see many tourists like you
Come feed the monsters in their cages as you pass through
This forsaken place could be your end like many travelers before
Beasts and demons wait in the dark to snatch you if you fall.

Don’t look so tired and down
Wake up now, break out now
Living is easy my Lady

Hello my Lady, I can see you're shaken and cold ---
Lying there lonely, like you're alone.
I know there's twilight scratching at your door ---
I see your problem; I see what you're fearful for,
But you're still young anyway.
But your time is not done anyway.

Reinventors of self and prone to playing their songs in a myriad of ways, join Silverlode on their mythological journey through history, future, fantasy and good times via their ever-evolving music.
